Strancally Castle& it's owners

[vickyhouse2002]

I'm interested to find out more about the landowners of Strancally Castle, Waterford.

I know John Keily J.P. had it built. He had a wife Margaret (nee Bagwell?) John possibly born 1775 in Waterford. Married 1800. Margaret died 1839 listed in Nenagh Guardian News Index 1 Co. Tipperary.

John Keily possible shot (or this was a joke in the paper) 27 Oct 1847 The Cork Examiner. Listed as in Strancally Castle in 1837.

I'm more interested in Percy George Whitelock Lloyd the next owner of Strancally Castle around 1870's as owned 1,106acers.

George Whitelock Lloyd (possibly his father) had 1,034 acers.
George Whitleock Lloyd S.P. married Lady Ann Margaret Bulter in Feb. 1861.

Lady Bulter was born 22 Oct. 1829 died 15 May 1901 or 1961. She is listed in Berke's Pedigreess of Landed Gentry. She was a descendant of Mary Tudor, Princess of England.

I need the family tree of Whitelock Lloyd's to prove a link to my family tree.

Thankyou for that Vasaborg. I know the family lived at Strancally Castle, Waterford. So for him to be buried at Lismore Cathederal.

William has a book printed about his art work which I have now seen.

Thanks for this piece of info.

the kiley gent that was shot at was the landlord of  ballysaggartmore estate the reason being that it was because he evicted his tenants to poorer land on slopes of the mountains.the house is now in ruins but the entrance lodges still survive the known localy as the grand lodges and the towers you will find more info in the lismore site sights and sounds of lismore hope this is some help.ff

Hi Toby,
Yes I saw the newspaper article about Keily being shot. Strancally Castle is still at present being lived in and a private house.
I know now that some of my Whitelocke family are buried there.

strrancally castle and ballysaggartmore house were owned by the kiley brothers the family vault for the ballysaggartmore kiley family is on the right hand side of the drive way to the present  owners  will try
to get some photos of the old entrance  gates.ff

I think I found the gates via google photos. I also found the website that shows them too.

I was not really interested in Keily family - just that they were in Strancally Castle before the Whitelocke Lloyds.
My ancestor sold the castle against his grandfathers wishes, sue to running costs. The new owners have been doing their best to restore the castle. They have added a great looking new fire surround, I also spotted that online.
